Beginers dream of becoming a Legendary, and my goal is Hero.

[armanda90]

I'm just advice that you also help other users as others help you about merit. Your merit stats say you have 100+ sMerits still buried in your profile, so it would be great if you could spend them on other users to keep this system going. It doesn't matter how high your priority posts are, but keeping the system running is good.

Seems not the first time with higher level achievement account less contributing with smerits system, I got another user account last several days have been the higher level in Bitcointalk forum as Legendary but looking on smerit transaction sending under 20. Need spent with smerit having for the other user have good contribution in Bitcointalk forum by looking them grow up to higher level.

Some user are happy when looking the other reach to higher account level by sending feedback or smerit contributing, we can't stand by our self and help the other user will not make your account level downgrade. I think many user got many merit points sending after how active his contributing helped the other user.

Your dream exceeds expectations, this is a very beautiful moment for you. No one thought you could get to the Legendary Rank this fast, the time you need is too fast which may be difficult for other people to achieve.
Glad to see your success reaching Legendary even though your goal was a Hero Member at first. Congratulations to you for this success, your story has inspired other members that there is no obstacle for anyone to go to the highest rank as long as they want to try.

[Findingnemo]

Congratulations OP for achieving what you have dreamed off and this is another example for nothing can stop when you keep working on your goals.

But myself never gave much attention to the merits column, I am happy with the financial knowledge I am getting from bitcointalk and it helped me a lot personally to break and live a good life but topics like these kinds of triggers me to get more merits and now am asking myself what am I doing wrong?

Or I am just another bounty spammer?

[m2017]

I am happy every day spent on the forum, and not just on the day of reaching the rank, if you can call it that, and I simply have to share it with the forum members. For you are the main accomplices.

The adventure continues. It just changed from driving on the highway to free-floating. I will continue to have fun.

~snip

Every day brings even distant goals closer if you don't be passive.

~snip

There are much better examples for motivation than me, but I hope that I wrote my posts here (and not only) not for nothing and they will be useful to someone.

Congratulations m2017, it doesn’t get higher than this. Not many people can say they have reached a legendary in such short time. I’m encouraged by your journey and how far you have come. You won the legendary race lol I’m short 464 merits but I’m coming for you. How about we race to 3k merit club. Congratulations again!

Have you forgotten that joke bet yet? Oh, no. One race was enough for me. I'll wait for you here at the finish line, catch up.
Actually, as I said, I was in no hurry and I'm not going to do it. I will continue to move at my own pace and if I ever save 3k merit, then so be it. Probably in 100 years.


Thank you all for your kind words and for appreciating my stubbornness on my way to legendary rank.

[ShowOff]

Something is difficult when we think it is difficult, including how we rank in forum. I'm not at all worried about how forum contributor can get assurance that they'll get to the highest level without realizing it, that's what most people want, but only in the minority here.

You've had a great trip and today you've had a lot of fun, congrats on your rank up to Legendary.

[Frankolala]

It is 1yr and 15 days you made the thread and the merits,you had then was little compared to the numbers that have added to it since then till date. This means that you are improving yourself and contributing in the forum for other members to learn from you.

You are already in the highest rank and it shows that your dreams came true. It is everybody's dream as a forum member from hero rank down to newbie rank to be legendaries some day,but some of them end up not achieving this goal because of difficulties of getting merits on the forum. Forgetting that patience and hard work is the key.  Congrats mate.

[m2017]

~snip

Yes it is. I will have to be more attentive to the posts of other participants and repay the same that others have done for me. All the same, merit should circulate among users, as it was intended.

Congratulations m2017, you are not only a legendary member now but also an idol and motivation for other lower ranked  members. I know its a bit tough after the merit system launch, but if one can do it, everyone with good dedication can as well.

The idol sounds too loud and pretentious. I'm not suitable for this role.
I see it like this: If you are desperate to get a promotion, then get together and look around. Others could do it, so you can too. If you want. If you want to put in the effort.

Well, that day has come, to which I went a little more than a year. This topic was created on February 4 last year and as you can see, I managed to achieve not only my goal, but also to touch the dream. To the dream of all beginners.

Needless of saying much, I remember all about this thread and I remember your rank and merit count being so far from achievement when you made this thread. I remember how consistent you have remained. I remember when you helped me escape the 666 merit count
I remember when you joined the Best_Change family. I remember most things about you as if you are my close friend. We only meet here and nothing more, but with all modesty I can attest that you are a good fellow.
Congratulations and accept my love from this end of the world ❤️

It's nice to hear these words and that you still remember these moments. It seemed that this was important only for me, and few people around me would notice these events in my forum life. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong.

You definitely won the cutest post for me.

~snip

My revenge for this will certainly be cruel and merciless.

My congratulations OP. But it's time to change the title of your theme. You've become legendary, meaning dreams come true often on this forum if you put in some effort.
I wish you all the best, rejoice with you, and want you to rise to the same level every year, albeit without an official name, nevertheless, achieving new heights and victories.

Let the title of this topic remain unchanged, unlike us. For us always need to strive for new heights and it gets better so that KingsDen has a reason to write charming and cute posts.

Official names and titles, in my opinion, are not as significant as what we ourselves are. The inner state is more important than the rank. Frankly, I still don't feel like a Legendary, because I don't have sufficient knowledge to consider myself as such. I am not ashamed to say that I will ask questions that would not expect from a high rank. So, your wish for new heights is very appropriate in my case.



Thank you all. Sincerely. For your posts and words.

This implies that not all Legendaries are well-rounded members and can understand everything without asking. There are even many Legendaries here who are spammers, without much knowledge and living in the dark among other low ranking spammers. I don't deny it, it exists and will continue to exist.

About your new rank, it is fun. I even wonder when I'll become Legendary - I think months from now or maybe when ATH just hits. LOL

You have enough merits but lack activity which can be earned only by patience so let's say at least a year from now to reach about 900+ to 1000 activities which are normally when someone will become legendary and it's completely random so if you are lucky it may happen as early as possible.

OP ignored my post which kind of makes me feel embarrassed and is proving that my reply is not really worth this discussion.

[DaNNy001]

Threads like this one always serves as a source of inspiration for others members in the forum that are looking forward to excel in such way, i personally would love to achieve such feat if not even more than what you have achieved. I honestly believe a good poster will always be recognized in this forum as his hardwork and resilience to growth will always point him out different to other obscure lazy members in the forum. Nothing comes easy in life as you really need to work for it. Congratulations Op on your great achievement as you have truly earned it but its seem to me that your achievements have further double as your profile is currently showing legendary rank achievement so i think it only proper the thread is lock up or updated Just as other members have duely stated.

[BITCOIN4X]

It's fine to leave it open for a few days, just as it gives other users a chance to congratulate them on their achievement. But the longer it takes, of course there will be more and more unimportant replies that can even become spam.

~snip

Yes it is. I will have to be more attentive to the posts of other participants and repay the same that others have done for me. All the same, merit should circulate among users, as it was intended.

There is no compulsion, it's like your own awareness to keep running the merit system. But of course it's good if you want to contribute to other users, especially at quality posts like on your local board and on other boards.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

It is 1yr and 15 days you made the thread and the merits,you had then was little compared to the numbers that have added to it since then till date. This means that you are improving yourself and contributing in the forum for other members to learn from you

When a member realized that giving to the forum does not required the responsibility of any rank, which means irrespective of the rank you're, it is always expected of you to contribute and maintain the standard you started with if not improved on it, by then it should have been a habit.

You are already in the highest rank and it shows that your dreams came true.

Everyone has thesame opportunity to reach the peak of the forum ranks and not that alone, they have every right to also get to the pinnacle of success in life if they are determined, everything follows procedures and time together with hardworks, these are the prices needed.

I'm waiting for such a day I'll write cute and charming post for you again. Nice people like you deserve such posts everyday, hence I'll write bout it at any slight chance I have. Meanwhile, Legendary congratulations cannot be told you anymore, maybe in less than 1 year it would be my turn.

[John Abraham]

Oh wow!
Congratulations m2017! I don't know how you are feeling right now. But I can imagine your feelings. Surprisingly, you created this thread a year ago to celebrate your Sr. member rank up. In a year, You managed to earn another 750 merits. It's impressive. Sometimes your merit makes say how valuable you are. I believe only helpful posts deserve merits.

There are a lot of members who have been here for ages, and they are still not able to get Full member rank. (I have been here for a couple of years too, But I was inactive) I haven't seen your many posts, maybe because we are interested in different forum sections. But, I would like to appreciate your contribution and Congratulate you.

[m2017]

~~~

You've proven that the merit system won't make it difficult for anyone to move up in the rankings when the quality of posts and contributions are the benchmark. You are not the first to reach this stage and you are not the last to feel it, I mean there are a lot of people lining up to reach this milestone and they are on their way.

I'm just advice that you also help other users as others help you about merit. Your merit stats say you have 100+ sMerits still buried in your profile, so it would be great if you could spend them on other users to keep this system going. It doesn't matter how high your priority posts are, but keeping the system running is good.

Initially, merit-system made me so difficult and frustrated that I abandoned the forum for a while. But when the merit-sources began to accrue them to me little by little, I decided that perhaps not everything was lost and it was worth a try. If I had been told in the past that I would get highest rank, I would not have believed it. Everything happened the way it did. Probably, if I got legendary easily and simply, only at the expense of long-term shitposting, as many did before the new era, then my attitude to the forum could be different. Now, looking back, I am glad that everything was not so smooth and fast, because these difficulties left their mark. You don't have to be afraid of difficulties. We need to see them as an opportunity to realize their potential.

I take your advice and will definitely distribute sMerits. But I don't want to give them indiscriminately to everyone and therefore, I will give to those who deserve their actions and need them. In my opinion.

~snip

Don't worry. Everything has its time. I see this as a kind of duty that I must fulfill well and with all responsibility. Thank you for reminding.

Your dream exceeds expectations, this is a very beautiful moment for you. No one thought you could get to the Legendary Rank this fast, the time you need is too fast which may be difficult for other people to achieve.
Glad to see your success reaching Legendary even though your goal was a Hero Member at first. Congratulations to you for this success, your story has inspired other members that there is no obstacle for anyone to go to the highest rank as long as they want to try.

A reward or achievement without difficulty is of little value. Until you try and see if you can get what you want.

Congratulations OP for achieving what you have dreamed off and this is another example for nothing can stop when you keep working on your goals.

But myself never gave much attention to the merits column, I am happy with the financial knowledge I am getting from bitcointalk and it helped me a lot personally to break and live a good life but topics like these kinds of triggers me to get more merits and now am asking myself what am I doing wrong?

Or I am just another bounty spammer?

I am glad that my topic encourages you to new achievements. It's interesting, like a mini-game, the bonus of which will be your personal metaphors.

It's good that you have a question, what are you doing wrong, because it pushes you to look for answers. These answers can only be found by you by looking deep into yourself. Reflect in your free time on what you can "give" to the forum and other users. Perhaps this will help with your question.

~snip

Everything has its time. I didn't ignore. Don't be embarrassed. Your replay is also important for me.

Something is difficult when we think it is difficult, including how we rank in forum. I'm not at all worried about how forum contributor can get assurance that they'll get to the highest level without realizing it, that's what most people want, but only in the minority here.

You've had a great trip and today you've had a lot of fun, congrats on your rank up to Legendary.

Yes, you are right. Our perception is very important and can play a cruel joke on us. If we believe that the goal is achievable, then it ceases to be impossible and unattainable. Therefore, it is important to think positively.

It is 1yr and 15 days you made the thread and the merits,you had then was little compared to the numbers that have added to it since then till date. This means that you are improving yourself and contributing in the forum for other members to learn from you.

You are already in the highest rank and it shows that your dreams came true. It is everybody's dream as a forum member from hero rank down to newbie rank to be legendaries some day,but some of them end up not achieving this goal because of difficulties of getting merits on the forum. Forgetting that patience and hard work is the key.  Congrats mate.

Many dream, but few set a goal. This is the difference. You don't need to dream, but you need to set achievable goals. At Sr.Member, I saw that Hero Member was achievable and therefore set it as my goal by creating this thread. At that time, Legendary was a dream for me, not a goal. As I reached Hero, the next step, I formulated for myself (internally) a new goal - highest rank. At that moment, it ceased to be a dream, but became a goal. What it led to, you already know.

As a Member, you can't set a goal to become Legendary. It's complicated. Very.
Set immediate and achievable goals. For starters, a Full Member.
Step by step, this will lead to the highest rank.


Thank you all for your congratulations and your comments. I am pleased to answer them and discuss with you. It pushes me to new thoughts and allows me to look from a different angle. I wish you all the best.

[Falconer]

There are a lot of members who have been here for ages, and they are still not able to get Full member rank. (I have been here for a couple of years too, But I was inactive)

Besides you're not active enough, you probably weren't interested in merit systems until your mindset changed. I think that's one of the reasons why you don't get high ratings after being active for few years, and actually I felt the same way back then.

The mindset will change when you realize how important it is to contribute to forums regardless of whether it is about your technical knowledge or anything else. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to reach it, but when you can maintain the consistency of your active discussion with the community then you have chance to reach that target.

Apart from that, congratulations @m2017. It may be too late, but cheers.

[aylabadia05]

Many people even wish to reach the highest rank. When a beginner's dream of becoming legendary is achieved, the feeling is that there are still many tasks that need to be completed and the greater the responsibility in the future. This is when the goal of becoming a hero is executed.

Trying to interpret what the hero goal means. Helping those at the lower ranks to be motivated to try to improve their quality so that the desire is achieved. Or maybe when your dream is achieved as it is now, then there is a great desire from you to help them achieve it someday through the merit distribution that you will share based on your own judgement. If my interpretation is correct, the legendary-ranked m2017 is a "hero" and perhaps many other legendary will applaud a hero for doing his job properly.

In advance, congratulations to you my friend.

A story that contains a lot of meaning that you deserve to be recorded during your time on the forum in a book.

[TheBeardedBaby]

Hey bud, welcome to the Legendary club, it's been a long run, but there you go, finally a Legendary! Congrats!!

One day it will surely happen. Let's hope it doesn't take a lot of activity. Just keep being on the forum so that we have a reason for your congratulations.

You will certainly achieve the result you want, because you have no illusions and clearly understand that you need to work for this. I am sure you will succeed, just keep doing your job and be patient.

750 merit impresses you, and I gave a whole year of my life for this. In fact, it was a pleasure for me to spend this year among the bitcointalk-community and I hope it was not the last.

Well, no books. Everything I wanted to say about this has already been written in this thread.

It's fine to leave it open for a few days, just as it gives other users a chance to congratulate them on their achievement. But the longer it takes, of course there will be more and more unimportant replies that can even become spam.

That is why, perhaps, this post of mine will be final here. I think everyone who wanted to, has already spoken.


Once again, I sincerely thank you all. On this I close this topic.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Congrats on getting to Sr. Member, OP.  I suspect if you just posted more, you'd probably have been at least a Hero member by now.  

And here we are just over a year later and you've done it!  Congratulations on getting to the end of the line as far as ranks, OP.  Just reading what you've posted in this thread, it's obvious you put a lot of time and thought into what you're writing and that tends to get noticed--which in your case, it obviously did.  If any lower-ranked members are here wondering what they have to do to earn merits, they ought to emulate the path you took and begin by taking a look at your post history.

OP ignored my post which kind of makes me feel embarrassed and is proving that my reply is not really worth this discussion.

So sensitive!  Dude, you're doing fine.  Don't let your own thoughts and self-criticism drag you down, because I've seen you contribute to the forum and I think you're being way too hard on yourself.
